I'm only a little sad that I won't be working on Friday, because since it's Valentine's Day all the princes, at Disney will be appearing with their princesses for meet and greets. But, I'll be in Lake Tahoe with my own prince, so I can't be too sad about it, now can I?

We're going for the weekend, starting Friday morning and me trying to pack looks like we're going on another cruise. I think I need to cut this list down a little.

I will freely admit that I am one of those girls who loves Titanic. If it is on, like it just was, I will stop what I'm doing and watch it. You can think of all the arguments about why it's inaccurate or bring up the over used, she promised not to let go, crap, but nothing will make me stop loving that movie. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet should just get married already.

Wow. So not only am I the Tom Sawyer in my dreams, but now I have a picture of me and Huck Finn on my desk. It's even in black and white. It's probably not worth asking how this is possible, is it?

Wow... just as I thought fifth edits might be needed, I got the word, my book has been accepted as is from the fourth edit and rewrite. And I will know next week about a publication date.

It took me so long to get a second book accepted, I was starting to think it would never happen, and now it has. And all I can think is wow.

I think I've been working too late. Dreamed I was the real Huck Finn.

I'm happy to announce that my next project is finally coming along. There is still a long way to go, but it's underway and I should be able to make a formal announcement on it soon. I really think that this is going to be the next big thing. Much better than all those teenybopper vampire movies.

I don't know what causes these dreams, but it was like it knew that today was my birthday and that we had just gotten home and gave me the most sucktastic dream ever last night. Way to ruin my good mood and my birthday.

Footfalls. A man strolling toward the machine shop for another day's work--presumably tinkering away at the next revolutionary invention. Everybody and their cousin wanted to be the one to change the world. The Siren, a bounty hunter by trade, ducked behind a stack of crates, crossbow ready, trigger finger poised in register beside the firing mechanism, and waited until the man slipped out of sight. She knew the place like the back of her hand. This city, these people; slums and junk dealers, all of them. Where better to hide a wanted face than a place no one wanted to go?


Just a little teaser, in case you all were starting to miss me. I'll be buckling down to work on book three when Lexi and I get back from our trip.

Is it so wrong that I really don't want to go to college? I don't have anything that I want to take, and I make a pretty good check selling my face for modeling jobs. I still have the music store too. Why take classes just to take classes?

Me in the Jag )

I can make a decent living doing this.

I just want my girlfriend to come back, then it's all good.

It appears that I am your reigning oil wrestling champion, Valarnet.

I accept offerings in the form of good coffee, fruit loops, and milkshakes.

Just nothing with coconuts. I'm already sick of the smell and I'm going to smell like a tropical island for at least another month.

School picks back up shortly. I'm rather excited to begin my classes anew, although I am not sure how I feel about a few of them. I am, however, extremely glad to be back to a regular routine. It's not that I don't enjoy my trips to see my Father, but he is my father, and generally a wee bit overbearing.

In other news, I figure I should share this here, I have my first fight coming up. I'm anxious about it, but it'll be exciting. Although the dieting before hand is a little saddening, I am a girl who loves her pasta.

So, I think I finally had one of those dreams everyone is talking about. Well, more than one. Like in real life, my mother died when I was a teenager and it was just me and my sister, but then, instead of going to culinary school, I got a job with the CIA. Yes, The Central Intelligence Agency. I was an analyst, which seemed pretty easy. I pretty much read blogs for a living. Then I met another agent there named Rex Matheson. He was pretty cool. Then I woke up. I'm really not surprised that dream!me would have a better life than real me.

Ciao! Hi. Hello. Pick whichever you like. I'm James.

I'm sorry, these things are not normal for me. I've never joined a network, so I'm not sure what I am supposed to say. I keep thinking that no one will respond. I barely keep up with my Facebook page.

So, I'm James, and I live out here in Newport Beach now. I'm trying to get a start in fashion design, so if anyone is into that, I'd love to talk to you, or to anyone really.

So, this might sound strange, but this probably isn't the worst thing that has ever happened to me. In fact, I'm extremely amused by this. I was lucky enough to swap with my boyfriend, so at least it's a body I'm pretty familiar with and I at least know what he'd do with my body. I also got to give him princess lessons, cause I can't afford to call out this week since we have our cruise next week. I do hope this is over by then though cause I would like to enjoy my anniversary in my own body.

This is actually a perfect opportunity for me to buy Huck some new clothes and I can be sure to get all the right sizes. It's so hard to shop for other people sometimes.

This place is cool! A network where people, talk about dreams as if they are real, and about powers, and aliens, and all sorts of awesome stuff? This is definitely more entertaining than most of the places I've seen online.

Hi, all, I'm Ash, and I guess I'm the newest added on person to Valarnet!

Is it bad that I'm 'fan-casting' my own book characters? Like, I would totally go and anonymously join one of those livejournal roleplaying forums, just to see what kind of critique I'd get.

I kind of want to do this now.

I just witnessed the most adorable thing in the world during my break. As a result of the marriage equality news today, Peter Pan proposed to Aladdin in the middle of the break room. They've been dating almost as long as me and Huck and everyone knew it was coming eventually, but since California was being an asshat until now, they were waiting. The best part was that Aladdin wasn't even expecting it. I'm so incredibly excited for them.

God, some of the things I've witnessed in our break room would probably have some parents outraged. I love it.

Either I've been working at Disneyland too long or the squirrels in the tree by the kitchen window really are having a conversation about the neighbors. Either that or I've been drugged.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there and especially to my baby daddy! I know Stefan just adores being called that. We've had an extremely busy day already and we're on our way home to let Natalia nap for a good amount of the afternoon. We went to brunch at Hotel Huntington Beach, which was amazing, then whale watching, and weiner dog races! The last one was totally Stefan's idea, but it was a lot of fun and Natalia loved petting the puppies. Now, it's time to relax from all the sun.

So, Father's Day isn't great for those of us with sucky fathers but I do want to point out that Cosette's Dad, Mr. Jean Valjean is a pretty damn amazing example of a dad, even to those of us who aren't his kids. He's opened his home up to a lot of crazy kids who needed somewhere safe to stay, offered us support and advice, and generally been a really awesome example of a father. My future dad in law is also amazing, and supportive, along with way he and future mom in law have opened up their house to me, let me hang out, babysat my cat, and generally approved of the illicit things I get up to with their son.

I guess...I'm luckier than I let myself think sometimes, even when I'm feeling kind of shitty about stuff. So, there's that, I guess, and two good examples out there. It's hard not to be bitter and angry but then I think about them and I...feel better I guess? Comforted. Something like that, I think.

And I know that when I'm ready, I'm going to be good with kids cause I now know what NOT to do and have had some good examples here.

It...helps make today work, I guess?


Also, "Cherie" had left a present on my pillow when I got home, which I found out this morning was a really crazy tie, so whichever of you wants to take credit for helping her pick that out...uh, thanks, you freaks, and I love you?

Nessie gave me the best Fathers Day present I could ask for. She slept all the way through the night. First time I've gotten eight hours of sleep in a long while.

One of my fellow teammates suggested I check out this valarnet blog. I've heard my siblings talk about it a few times as well. For those of you who don't know me, I'm Kol Mikaelson.

Yes, the Kol Mikaelson. The better, more handsome looking brother to Nik, Elijah, Finn and Henrik, favorite brother to Rebekah and Natalia's favorite Uncle.

Hello, Valarnet! It's been a while since I've done a proper, lengthy update--what with the whirlwind book tour and all--but now that I have completed the homestretch, I reckon I'm past due. For those of you who are new to my ramblings, I write under the name of H.B. Finn, and you may recognize my byline from one of the fine local newspapers. Or maybe you've seen my photograph on the back of a little novel called The Patchwork Monk, which was the first in my steampunk novel series.

Whatever the case, I am pleased to announce that Smoke & Miscellany (or as I have seen it abbreviated, S&M (nudge-nudge, wink-wink, say no more)) book two, The Cross-wired Machinist has been released, and you can get it just about anywhere books are sold! I hope you'll forgive the shameless self-promotion, but if you're interested in epic tales of struggle and self-discovery in a sort of Verne and Twain meet Jim Butcher style...

I'm your Huckleberry.

(And yes, I really do prefer that to my given name.)
